~Tapping into Your Potential Where Others Saw None~
Thomas Sowell is brilliant and the fact that he is not celebrated in our community is pathetic.
I've listened/watched 90% of his interviews and he's got more "Ah-HA" moments in 30 minutes than 99% of people talking today. The guy is brilliant.
Reason: identity politics
He's not celebrated because he tells the truth.
He is a very smart man and he's as good as they come..
100%
I'm a 44 year old Mexican American my dad used to watch Thomas Sowell debate & lecture in the late 80s early 90s and it changed his outlook that ultimately changed our outlook
I guess you and your father are doing well
Same age as you. It’s amazing what one person can do when they’re given a platform to share their thoughts in a civil manner.
What is Mexican American? And why did UA-cam deleted 4 of the 6 replies that were here? So sick of UA-cam purging.
I am 40 years old & I remember my Tutor turning me onto Thomas Sowell as a child, I also remember as a young adult reading articles in magazines that would really be derogatory towards Mr. Sowell. As far back as Elementary School I can remember his words shaping my belief system & ideology. It has always amazed me that Thomas Sowell has not been Celebrated throughout the years for all of his accomplishments. It’s a little late but it is awesome to finally see his name being shared dare I say the mainstream, the more that people are turned onto Thomas
Sowell, the more Positivity & Understanding will be shared between one another!!
@@danl.4743 What is American?
There's South America, central America and?
Thomas Sowell, a man from truly humble beginnings , said the greatest gift he ever received was the library card he got as a young boy. An inspiration to us all.
Exactly
Reminds me of Good Will Hunting
He changed my life when we used his Basic Economics as a textbook in college.
Back before the internet a library was your connection to history, science, ect. Young people now have no idea what it was like.
Dr. Ben Carson says the same thing about the library. Did you know that most of the good ideas and changes that improved things during the Trump Admin came straight out of Dr. Ben Carson's campaign platform? Hillary made a deal with the talking heads of the mainstream media to ignore Dr. Carson, minimize coverage of him, because he was the person she was terrified of running against. A morally spotless, highly intelligent black person TERRIFIED HER!
Sowell is one man that would have been a brilliant president
Thomas Sowell is an absolute national treasure. If everyone in America would listen to 10 hours of his lectures or read even one of his books, we would save our country and the world.
He’s been around long enough too .All his work should be known with anyone with a brain. You can see how wonderful an education you get in our public schools.
@@finch45lear indoctrination. They don't educate in schools.
@@finch45lear Books educate. Teachers indoctrinate.
Good luck getting any black person to take 2 minutes 120 seconds to even see who or wut the man I'd
Oh no they go right to the attacking
The term getto comes from when the Nazis waĺled off a portion of Warsaw Poland and kept the jews. They were separated from society in general. In Judaism, a Get, is a divorce decree. The place of the divorce is now the Getto. Separation from society and the good life is getto. There has been no decree made that anyone should be in a getto mindset. We can rise above our circumstances.
Thomas Sowell is one of the ten greatest minds - intellectually and morally - our country has produced. He is a national treasure.
Well said.
Who are the 10 in your opinion? I want to learn about them.
Noam Chomsky. Thomas sowell ..Ralph waldo Emerson ..B F. Skinner .. sowells mentor, Milton Friedman .Abraham Maslow ..the father of psychology, William James ...John Dewey, a democratic socialist sadly ...Carl Rodgers...zora neale Thurston ..I'm going to say Margaret Mead too. There's many more I could name.. like MLKj.
Noble peace prize for Thomas Sowell for properly educating the masses !
Yeah!!!
Thomas Sowell doesn’t just express his opinion, he also shares FACTS that he has researched and then shares with others.
He is like Harry Truman. Harry Truman said "People say that I give them hell, but, all I do I tell the truth." Sowell just calmly tells the truth backed up by a real depth of knowledge.
A very important distinction when compared to so many other commentators out there!
Thomas Sowell truly has the answers. He is an American son that has lived the life of poverty and true racism.He grew like a Phenix out of the flame He could help save American society from a great deal of pain if people would just listen to him.
I am 52 years old I am still shocked when people are still saying I was just introduced to Thomas Sowell. How can anyone over 18 not know who he is?!
Because the traditional indoctrination centers don’t teach Sowell. So those kids have to grow up and discover learning on their own
Evil society is the muzzle of truth and Mr Sowell is a victim of censorship. God bless this man.
I’m 67. Just discovered him last year! Brilliant gentleman! I wish I had discovered him years ago.
Public education and indoctrination avoids him or any other successful black man that strays from the Democratic party.
I agree, but I’m 44 and I was introduced to Mr. Sowell three years ago!!! I can’t say I had ever heard of him prior to that
I love Morgan Freeman's answer when asked "What are we going to do about racism?" He answered "Stop talking about it all the time."
too bad there's an entire political party who relies on it
That was the dumbest comment I've ever heard coming from a elder.
I absolutely adore Morgan Freeman. He's so articulate and has the most soothing voice
What we focus on will always expand.
@@alpacalips3452 yeah Dems won't stop
Knowing that Thomas Sowell is being appreciated for his brilliant mind is long over do. I have been a fan for many years. I have many of his books and throughout the years have been well informed and thankful for his wisdom and his courage to speak out. He is now over 90 years old, I pray his teachings will continue to educate and more people will discover this amazing man.
It's long overdue. Not long "overdo".
Same here. He's a true conservative historian who has been mocked by the liberals for his whole life because he exposes them for who they are.
@@sidhu139 Probably a spell-correct error.
Overdue
@@ChestyPullerFan If only every hard-headed, wannabe do-gooder liberal could have the same eye-opening experience..(the ones that have good intentions)
I was first introduced to Dr. Sowell through his book "Basic Economics". Dr. Sowell is still alive and still trying to spread the truth. What a brilliant man.
Tom Sowell turned my whole life around. I didn't discover him until Obama's second term, but he broke the spell for me about things like economy, government, and outcomes.
it was VERY ironic to me that black people vote democratic,during trumps presidency democrats pulled the wool over all of america so bad it made me sick.
Dr. Sowell is still alive (in his 90's) and I am so glad that he is finally getting the respect and accolades due him.
It is long over due.
@Hernan Schmidt That's interesting. I wonder if he knows? He'll be 93 next month. This Dr. Thomas Sowell taught at Cornell University, Howard University, Rutgers, UCLA to name a few. He also is (was?) a Sr. Fellow at Hoover Institute at Stanford and penned dozens of books. Don't start celebrating yet guys.
The advent of social media. It can override the controlled media and institutes of higher "education". At least until they shut down access to videos using his name.
@wcp974Thomas Sowell did NOT die... He is very much alive at 93 years young!
I wish Doctor Walter Williams would get his due. I always read his writings.
I'm 68 and found out about Professor Sowell in the '90's. If you pay attention to the US and the world and Sowell is not among your reading, then you are at a loss. This man should be celebrated.
AMEN!
I'm 65 and remember watching him in the seventies when the welfare state was kicking in, so neatly dressed, so well spoken, so blatantly decent to be on the show's panel discussing cutting edge matters. I was blown away. Full of weights and balances determining the truth by his education.
@@jackfullerton5762The man educated the entire congress on TV. Naturally, it didn’t listen.
He is probably one if the most influential economists, among those outside the accepted narrative, in the world
Why do some black people bring up reparations and feel this would make things fair. Do they not realize that black people themselves used slavery for hundreds of years and actually enslaved white southern Europeans long before the white man purchased Africans for slaves. White men very rarely captured black people for slaves. They Instead bought them from other black men who had originally enslaved them. So for some black people to think that reparations are needed to make things fair and even they truly must be unaware of history or they simply are whining because they are lazy. Black people also used slavery along time after predominantly white cultures banned the use of slave labor. So it seems to me that if black people want reparations then they should first give reparations otherwise they simply lack an understanding of equality or what fair is.
Thomas Sowell should be read in all high schools. His good friend, Walter E. Williams, who recently passed, should also be compulsory reading. Brillant is the best word used to describe these two amazing Gentlemen.
So glad I got to see Walter Williams before he passed. What a fine gentleman…great example…great men are rising to take their leadership place in the black community & it is wonderful.
I so agree!! These 2 men should be held in highest esteem by all!!!
Thomas Sowell changed my life - for the better - but gets lonely sometimes when you're the only one you know who has read or listened to his thoughts.
There are a lot of videos here on YT that address specific topics, like the importance of African geography on Africa's slow development, that explain a lot. His video on the real history of slavery is also very enlightening. Maybe you could talk your friends into watching a couple of his not-so-deep videos.
It means you now have to pass on the knowledge. You are the chosen one.
One of my eight children chose economics as a major. The writings of Thomas Sowell were part of the syllabus. He was so taken by this man’s intellect, he insisted that I read his works. This is one of the greatest minds humanity has produced. If immortality were possible, Dr. Sowell should be at the front of line. When his life ends, I will surely weep.
One of my biggest regrets is discovering Mr Sowell so late in my life and have been praying he lives happy and healthy to 100 yrs old…and beyond. Humanity desperately needs him more than ever.
You may also want to read anything by Walter Williams who was a friend of Dr Sowell with many shared ideologies ( the truth) they used to joke that they couldn't take the same airplane without fear that the only two similar thinking black men could be taken out at once. Williams has a very different type of presentation he's very smart and funny as well but I think you'll enjoy and learn from his work as well. He just died recently also a great loss to the country!
@@deniselasalle9545 try to share his work as often as possible. Since the opposition holds the media enthralled we must do what we can to spread the truth, especially of people who are such great and fearless communicators
Well, good news is, if he's a Christian- and I think he is! - he does have immortality! I personally CAN'T wait to talk to him in Heaven-- which would likely be my first opportunity to meet him! LOL
My husband is from the USA and he loves Thomas Sowell. He was worried for both Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams during COVID. He was devastated during COVID that Walter Williams died (not from COVID) and he was terrified that something might happen to Thomas Sowell because he was even older than Walter Williams. He said that it will be a tragedy if anything happens to Thomas Sowell and that America will lose a national treasure. I have to say that I agree with him. I cannot believe that more people in the USA don't know Thomas Sowell. What a gentleman!
I got into Thomas Sowell a couple of years ago and in my opinion if you take the time to listen. You can’t help but to become a better person for it. It doesn’t matter what race you’re from. The man speaks to all of us, stop making excuses and do the work to improve our life. He is one of the greatest minds of our time.
I feel the same as you. Thank you for expressing your opinion.
Jordan Peterson's philosophical talks did the same for me, in addition to Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. My entire adult worldview is largely molded after the discourse of those three men.
Most definitely
I've been a Sowell fan for many years. His books are so calm and reasoned and well researched and in their own way revolutionary. He'll never be recognized by the swamp, too existentially threatening to them. His wisdom is more bottom up - the power that individuals have as they begin to see and to understand. I believe he's a national treasure. I used to love some of the conversations he had with Walter Williams on the radio ...
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant human being. He combines exceptional intelligence with great wisdom and honesty. The young people need to hear his message.
AMEN!
Thomas Sowell stated and it’s the best thing I ever heard, to lift yourself out of poverty Sowell said “ equip yourself with knowledge and skills someone is looking to pay for” one of the greatest things I ever heard.
That is exactly what every college advisor should tell their students.
Exactly!
Mr. Sowell is a national treasure!
I love his growth mindset!
Dr. Sowell
Those where the words I was looking for
And he sure is
Unite not Divide!!!
I'm a 52 year old white guy married to a 50 year old Korean woman. We have 1 child, a 23 year old son. My wife was born in South Korea but adopted by a white American family as a baby. My wife's friend calls her a Twinkie, yellow on the outside and white on the inside. Wife agrees, she does not act like the stereotypical Asian raised by Asian parents. I say all this for detail. My son of course looks mostly like his mother. He is very intelligent and a very conservative Trump supporter. We all are. Anyway, in 2019 or so my son stumbled onto Thomas Sowell on youtube and mentioned him to me. I already knew who he was. I told him to really listen to what Sowell says as he is a brilliant man and very wise from life experience. If more black Americans listened to Sowell's words without getting offended the black community would be much better off. I think if ALL people would listen to people like Sowell, our society would be better off.
And once they’ve listened to Mr. Sowell, they should watch Shark Tank, to see it in action, today, for people of all colors! What works & what/ why what doesn’t work. Accountability, Meritocracy only can achieve what one is willing to put the work into and to find solutions regardless.
I have loved Thomas Sowell for decades! I'm always thrilled when he is discovered by others.
Ditto. Introducing him to others is a public service, even if you do nothing else.
@@jamesfleming2254 👍
Thomas Sowell has told me about a black culture from a time period that our history is ignoring. When families were strong, corrupted by government intervention. Its been a blessing to be able to read his work.
His comments on pre-civil rights movement era are amazing. You see the decline of America is tied with the decline of family structure more than anything else.
@@rustinthewheel so true, well said
This is the part that I find incredibly sad. The system the government has put in place claiming to want to help, is actually what causes the problems to persist. If you continously tell people they can't do for themselves, eventually they start to believe it. If you remove assistants if someone dares to get out of poverty, the problem still persists. Education is the greatest assistance that a person can receive.
It's true. I come from a family and was raised by parents who grew up as sharecroppers. The Blacks of today are not the Blacks of yesteryear.
My mom, who is 96, picked cotton, walked 3 miles to school and back, and she finished 12th grade.
My dad served in WWII in Germany and only finished 8th grade.
These two people managed to buy a home, put a daughter through college, and drive cadillacs.
My other relatives who come from the same background, some graduated from college, built houses, owned businesses, put children through college too. None of them lived off the government.
Liberals and the Dem party are not our friends.
@@stevevest7206 I think initially the design was to help people, but when the decay of the family clearly helps one political party it is not long before they not only champion it for it's outcomes but gaslight people on what the policies actually accomplish
Thomas Sowell is INCREDIBLE!! He used to be a Marxist when he was a child.. In an interview with Mark Rubin, he was asked “what changed your mind?” Thomas Sowell replied, “FACTS!”
Hi: Do you mean "Dave Rubin"?
ua-cam.com/video/5Ivf9jrXGAY/v-deo.html
Interviewed by David Rubin
He said his first job in government changed his mind if I'm not mistaken.
Just a correction, he was Marxist in college, not as a child.
There is a video of Sowell debating Milton Friedman, his professor in college. An example of logical thinking Sowell, from the Marxist viewpoint vs the Friedman viewpoint that is the foundation of Sowell's current viewpoint.
Not the exact moment of Sowell's course change but not long before.
You say "child" but I believe he said he was a Marx into his twenties.... I wouldn't call that a child ... but I'm in my twenties so I'm bias I guess
Congrats for your courage to learn something new. It is a tragedy that Sowell isn't well known. He is a treasure and should be an icon of our country.
Thomas Sowell is spot on, on damn near everything. He's a great man. I've known who Thomas Sowell is since the 80's.
Rush Limbaugh turned me onto Thomas Sowell in the mid 80s, he is brilliant.
Thomas Sowell is right on everything but Israel. Israel is the biggest parasite on the US Economy providing the US with nothing in return. The left supports it because of identity politics, the right supports it because of religious reasons.
Sowell is my favourite public intellectual. He follows the facts, wherever they lead, and explains them to others in a clear and compelling fashion. The only way to solve problems is to understand them!
Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest gifts in American History!!!!!
@Miles Doyle Thank you for taking the time to write this. God bless 🙏.
Thomas Sowell is an absolute intellectual giant. He is also a proud American. I appreciate your honesty admitting a lack of clarity, explaining the issues facing our country concerning race and identity. That honesty and an Open mind is the doorway to knowledge and understanding. Keep doing what you do. You are waking up many folks. Thanks
You've put me down this road man. I'm with you all the way now.
You a lethal weapon fan?
@@waRr3nxx Yeah man. Still love those films
Welcome
Thomas Sowell is one of our greatest thinkers and his books treasures!!!
@@waRr3nxx who isn't? Lol
Thomas Sowell is one of the great minds of our time, and he is unfortunately widely uncelebrated.
Dr. Sowell is a gift for all of the people of this country. He is truly Brilliant.
I discovered Thomas Sowell a few years ago and was blown away by him. He has to be one of the most intelligent men on earth and I don't know why we never heard of him through out our education. This man's teachings should be in every grade level in every school. Another legend is Walter Williams who passed away at age 84 in 2020. If you haven't seen any of his works you need to look him up. Thomas and Walter are two great men whose work we should introduce into our children's lives.
His Teachers taught him well, to represent their interests. Brilliant! Boule.
Sowell is legendary, but most young people would rather celebrate and worship some athlete, singer, or thug.
I loved Walter Williams. Thanks for mentioning him.
And both this men should be honored with great pride by all of America, including the black community. Both such great men as is Justice Thomas and the late Barbara Jorden. So many fine Americans. Honor them.
@@SoundsBogus truth is not a left wing value.
I first ran into Thomas Sowell in my local newspaper. He had a weekly article he would write and I became fascinated by him and couldn't wait to read what he had to say the following week. He thinks and speaks the truth as far as I'm concerned!
It was his article on Black Rednecks, that prompted me to but the book.
My first introduction to Thomas Sowell was reading his opinion pieces in the newspaper, and they became my favorite section of the paper. I thought he was brilliant and brave for saying what he did and still does, and I miss having that experience of seeing what topic he would take on.
It makes me so very happy to see when people discover Thomas Sowell. I have been a faithful follower and devoted deciple of his teachings for many decades. He is without doubt, one of the greatest minds this country has ever been blessed by.
I to shall weep like a child at his passing.
No one expresses Sowell better than Sowell himself - who is as courageous and noble as he is brilliant.
I grew up in the projects from the 80s- 90s as a child and never heard of Sowell, but i came to the very same resolutions as he did. Going from the projects to working as engineer for NASA makes me want to scream at every person talking about racism. I've encountered, faced and lived through REAL racism where the sheets are chasing you through the woods and still here I stand. If one can do it then many more can follow.
100%
Where were you living with the KKK chasing you? Sorry to hear that happened. I'm an engineer but not up to the challenge of NASA so kudos to that achievement, so you certainly beat the odds and should be an inspiration to many others.
@@tntstorms7969 southeast texas...jasper area...i try to inspire others to say if one can make it then anyone "can" make it just wont be easy or without difficulty.
I had the same thing in Southeast Georgia.
@Ten Pounds PJs is where i lived but the incident was at a house party in a wooded area. But thanks for trying to diminish the experience
I love your videos, and your communication skills will continue to improve.
When I was young, I ran a paper route. Reading articles by Thomas Sowel was one of my favorite things in the paper. He always intrigued my interest and understanding in his logic. I have always respected his insight.
You keep doing what you're doing, I am sure you will inspire many more people with your platform. You have already inspired me, and I'm almost 60.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. I started listening to him several years ago and was amazed by the depths of his understanding regarding black culture and that relationship in America.
Thomas Sowell is probably the most important economist America has ever produced and is the most influential one on the planet in both the 20th and 21st centuries. Unbelievably brilliant. It's not easy becoming a Fellow of the Hoover Institute of Stanford University and he is one of them.
Thomas Sowell is an International treasure, I have loved him for years, love from Sydney Australia.
Thomas Sowell is so awesome. His way of teaching should be taught to every man woman and child! He is an amazing teacher!!!
It’s the Socratic Method, that’s all!
im a Mexican from the hood, doing pretty well too!!!!! no excuses
It’s about effort and choices!!!! exoskeleton or historical past doesn’t matter much.
We are all responsible for our own destiny, and we all have obstacles to overcome, even white people.
Great to hear
@@maxwellhowell amen!! Just take domes hard work!!
Keep encouraging others to not live in bitterness and be the example that you are.
I’ve been listening to Thomas Sowell for 30 years. I’ve learned so much from him on the economics level and history. He’s a true intellect, genuine and a good man.
I really enjoy listening to Dr So well. He is one of the most important voices of our time and should be taken seriously. "He is a voice of reason in a time of madness".
“Moving forward, not moving on.” This statement makes me think “forgive, but not forget.” Lack of forgiveness holds people in anger and resentment and limits progress and prevents moving forward. Not moving on means to continue to remember and be grateful for those who sacrificed and suffered at the hands of the institution of slavery.
Appreciate watching your journey.
You should never forget. History doesn't repeat but it does mimic. Never forget slavery and never stop teaching that it did happen and we never want too see it again.
That's what I took from it.
My question is who exactly a black kid born in the late 1900s or 2000s forgiving and why? What did any white person do to that kid before he was born to warrant offering his “forgiveness” to white people to begin with. White people didn’t do shit to that kid.
@@757Bricksquad its not about forgiving its about not allowing the knowlege of the past turn into hate. Allow it to be a lesson everyone grows from.
@@MariposaEdits It is about forgive. It doesn't mean that the hurt isn't there, forgiveness is about the health of your own soul, not someone else's.
Thomas Sowell is a gift to humanity and by far one of my most admired people.
It is wonderful that his many talks have been captured on video so that others may benefit long into the future.
I'm 54 and a white male, I've been a big fan of Mr. Sowell for years. I love that person! He is smart and he obviously loves people, all people. I'll always be an admirer of Thomas Sowell!
The story about Booker T. Washington seeing a schoolhouse and "he thought going into a schoolhouse was about as close to heaven as you can get" brought tears to my eyes. Those words bring us into the heart and mind of Booker T. Washington.
A Great American.
Great video Van!! Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and due to his age I’m not sure how much longer he’ll be around but thank the Lord we have his literature. He opened my eyes to a completely new perspective and judging by reactions everyone is floored by his position because there’s so much truth in it if you do the research. It just makes sense and quite honestly the end game is unification. If we keep going down the road we’re going down in this country we will not sustain. Sowell is breath of fresh air that the people really need IMO. Thanks for the video Van!!
Why episode is this?
Yeah it's weird he's been around doin his thing for decades and most people myself included have only recently learned of him. He should be held up and celebrated in this country and in the black community specifically.
I pray that Allah grants him long life; and I don't always agree with him.
The origin of the term “ghetto” was actually used to describe poor European Jewish communities hundreds of years ago.
Is it that old? I thought it was from the communities Jews were forced into before WW2
@@RagnarLoudpak I read the term originated in Venice in the 1500s. In the early 1900s is when it started to be used for other demographic communities.
Yes, it's Venetian ghèto, meaning 'foundry'. They couldn't live in the city, they could only do business so at night the would leave and go to an area around this foundry to live. Sorta like Jim Crow laws.
a ghetto was any neighborhood of just about ethnic identity that was not the norm. Jews were just one of them identified as having one.
Let’s go back to the 29 March 1516, when the Venetian Republic created the first ghetto on a small island in the north-western sestiere of Cannaregio. The residents were removed and replaced within a week by Jews already present in Venice... Living conditions were cramped and insanitary. The gates were unlocked at dawn and locked by sunset and all residents were required to wear yellow headgear or a badge.
I have the highest respect fkr Thomas Sowell. He is a brilliant human being and is a true leader and his lectures should be mandatory in the classrooms across the country and beyond our borders. A true American hero in my eyes and should be celebrated while he is still with us. My only regret is that I did not know about him sooner but I have been making up for that lost time thanks in part to channels such as this. Thank you so much.
Thomas Sowell is a good example of absolute strength. Strength that comes from decades of research, meditation, and hard work.
I had a class in college way back in the early 90’s,we were put into two groups and gave the same task of building something in two separate rooms and couldn’t see each other or speak to each other.The tools and other materials we were given was horrible. The professor went in one room and gave one group several excuses why we couldn’t do it. He told the other group that they could do it. The group I was in didn’t finish the project or even come close but the other group finished theirs and had time let over. This is what I think is going on in the black community, they are constantly told it’s someone else’s fault that they can’t succeed,and when you hear that everyday they start to believe it. Here’s the worst part.I believe they are being told these things purposely in order to keep them dependent
This is great insight. People invariably live up to expectations. If you are expected to fail as in the case with your group project, then failure is the outcome. There are 2 distinct cultures in Black America today. I see those that are rooted in the old school ways. They are taught that education is the true key to freedom. They are expected to succeed and they often do. Then there are those raised in the street culture which is not only the norm lately but is also crossing the racial boundaries to white kids that emulate the same street mentality. These are the ones expected to fail and they often do! Most importantly, the home culture is where this divide truly seems to begin. Even kids in the hood or ghetto that have the right messages in their family home can overcome and find their opportunities. Those that are taught otherwise, or to be the victim of racism, are expected to not succeed. Denzel Washington is another favorite person of mine. He has it right on the money with his perspectives!
Wow. We need more professors like that. Give somebody an excuse and they'll take it. That's why CRT in schools is so dangerous. Tell a group of people they're victims, half won't believe you and will go on to succeed, half will believe you and become angry and give up. CRT is creating hatred, and they know it.
great comment
Wow!!!
David Ferrell: It is being done with purpose and it started with Lyndon Johnson passing the "Great Society" legislation. Are you familiar with his quote? It included the n-word.
Professor Sowell has got to be one of the smartest people I've ever heard speak.
Your channel is important in these modern times. Thanks bro
He has authored a ton of books and his knowledge and perspective on migration, government, American, and world history is timeless. It's fascinating that topics he was writing about decades ago are in the forefront of today's issues. He is just a man with no agenda except spreading knowledge of our world through his wisdom. Too many Social Warriors and Civil Rights Pimps preach from a soapbox located in a small corner of a very narrow room. The term Renaissance Man is overly used today, however, for Dr. Thomas Sowell, it is quite fitting.
Imagine Thomas Sowell and Jordan Peterson having a longform discussion about literally anything.
I would listen to every minute!
It would be EPIC.
It'd be incredibly vacuous.
@@randomdude6572 wow… you must be so unbelievably enlightened to be so bored by the thought of two great minds having dialogue.
@@erimei8478 No. He undermines greatness to not feel inferior.
I'm actually quite surprised that a person as curious as Joe hasn't come across an intellectual giant like Thomas Sowell.
That says alot about Mr. Rogan
@@deanna_0037 that he hadnt heard of him before. Thats what that says.
Joe should have Sowell on his podcast, like yesterday.
@@jamieohare2428 Great call.
@@jamieohare2428 honestly, how the hell hasn’t he had him on by now? I’m guessing this clip is a year or two old now so what’s the hold up 🧐
Thomas Sowell opened my eyes in ways I didn't know I needed till after it happened.
Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest minds of the past 100 years.
I’m glad you found Sowell. He is arguably one of the greatest minds of our generation and the previous generation. Read his books, listen to his lectures, immerse yourself in his wisdom. He’s an expert on so many levels however he is at the core an economist. He was actually a student of Milton Friedman, who was arguably the greatest economist ever. Unfortunately for us Thomas Sowell is getting to be a very old man, hopefully he stays with us a bit longer.
Amen!
Hopefully he’ll be able to get out a few more books for us to continue learning!
And he was admittedly a socialist even under Friedman ( ??!) It was actual experience dealing with the political bureaucracy that changed him, as well as his extensive unflinching research which he never weighted with assumptions of any kind. He found through experience that the people running certain welfare programs had no desire to effect actual improvements or they would be out of jobs.
@@yoshididnt6135 long may he live and teach.
@@lisaharter1418 Lisa, he actually was a Marxist before he researched it it for a few years.
One of the remarkable things about Thomas Sowell is how quotable he is. Every interview I have heard him do is literally filled with memorable quotes.
Ive read a couple of Thomas Sowell's books and have listened to his interviews, etc. and the guy does his homework. His insights are penetrating and unknown to the masses. Its a shame that his work is not taught in many colleges and we know why. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see grown men having a very adult conversation without any egos taking over. And i believe there are more people in this country who feel the same ways expressed here, than think its bs. We all want a better world 🌍 and to feel comfortable smiling to a stranger just because. It can be done. Bravo 👏🏻 #sowellrules
Thomas Sowell is a great man. Since I started reading his books, I've learned so much from economics, philosophy, history on slavery, marxism, etc. He is a world wide treasure and we need to learn from this man who is almost 100 years old!
Been a voracious fan of Tom Sowell for 30 years. He should be a national treasure and taught in school but we live in a garbage world where the opposite is taught.
1000%
I know! I cant get anyone to read him. He is a world treasure.
I was being interviewed by my daughter yesterday evening. She is in her 30’s and easily lives a six figure life style. Her big question to me was how do I view her as a successful entrepreneur.
We had a beautiful conversation about how I grew up, how I did as a father and the results of her opportunities regarding her as a successful woman.
There were many times she was stunned by my answers to her questions. She didn’t know many of my experiences and beliefs about family and success.
I honored her and the success she has made. I honored her and the beauty in her family.
It was the first time I was able to verbalize what I have been observing of her these last 13 years.
I feel and I believe the same about any group who refuses to focus on a narrative that gives them a reason to be a victim.
I hope to meet MR Sowel before I die or after … I don’t care which. I just want to get to know the man.
My military unit has a unique crest of crossed daggers and these words. MR Sowell embodies them well by encouraging people to take charge of their own future like my daughter has done.

God bless you sir for your channel and your effort to help others to find their own voice and then to use it.
Being from a hard place makes finding a soft place to land that much sweeter. 💖🌟
Booker T Washington was one of my childhood heroes. Reading his biography in the fifth grade gave me the vision that learning and education were key elements to overcoming poverty and planted the seeds for a lifelong love of learning and the desire to overcome circumstances.
Booker T and Frederick Douglass, Frederick was a bad MF to me. Also love Huey P. Newton
I only discovered Mr Sowell about 3 years ago, and I've always lived in black neighborhoods and gone to black schools, and I'm really upset that he wasn't ever mentioned in highschool. Also being non black I grew up with black folks and rarely felt hated because of my skin. Occasionally you would run into the random asshole but it was rare. Man the times have changed. We are doomed to repeat history. Because we're actively teaching CRT.
Yeah, we got 2 political groups (leftist liberals/Democrats) actively teaching Americans, especially young children to be racist again. Dividing people gets more votes. Just look at the last election where people hated Trump so much they Hate Voted his opposition who is a blatant racist that has been caught many times on video and audio saying the most racist things imaginable. But trump got called racist for saying he love tacos (im not a big supporter of trump or like him that much outside of entertainment media he is in). like WTF kinda clown world we live in?
I'm really enjoying reading this comment section.
Thomas sowell should be declared a national treasure. The man is a genius, almost everything that drops from his lips are the words of wisdom.
Absolutely!!
Somebody promote this man to a better position
You seem like a peaceful and open minded dude. We need more people like that.
I originally come from the West of England and am familiar with the dialect. I had never drawn the parallels before but the moment Joe's guest pointed it out I heard it. Many people in the UK see the west country accent as being less than and not in the least cultured, the voice of poor rural folk. By the way I just found your channel and love the content. Peace and love from North Wales UK.
I currently live north of Detroit so I know a lot of people with a Detroit black accent. I also have inlaws who are white people from Alabama... I've noticed several times a similarities between the two groups in food, language and religion.
It’s the same culture, thus the similarities. The PWT from the Deep South are the same.
In the UK there's a wide variation in dialects, anyone who looks down on you for the way you speak or your accent, the issue is theirs not yours.
I'm Scottish, if you've seen Chewing the Fat, you'll know how our accent gets over egged and mocked. It is what it is though, everyone is different, celebrating and enjoying these differences is part of being human.
Peace, power and freedom to all.
Thomas Sowell is a genius and a national treasure. He is truly enlightened and should be required reading for every person, regardless of age.
That near last line: "Not move on, but move forward."
This is without a doubt the most important line the world needs to take note of. Target fixation, whether on a bike or in ideology, is one of the most dangerous things to suffer. You will inevitably end up where you are looking!
That line made me subscribe brother, keep the vids coming!
Your post is the first time I have heard of Thomas Sowell, thank you for your insight as well. Now I will be watching other videos of yours as well.
I got 9 of Sowell's books and am on book 4 at the moment. He is brilliant, fair, informative, truthful, historical and intellectual.
I have enjoyed his books! A conflict of Visions was a little tough to read, but the others are great!
I can't believe he isn't a standard for reading in the US. From where he came from to where he is gives such a great range of experience and insight that should open doors.
'Moving on is different from moving forward.' So well said!
Mr. Sowell has been one of the most level headed and articulate individuals in history in my opinion. If you can't explain it simple enough, You don't know it well enough. He definitely explains it "Simple Enough" for us average laymen.
Yes
Fun fact: Thomas Sowell has written 52 books fo far in his lifetime. He's an intellectual giant.
He’s a house servant, rather than a field hand.
@@busterbiloxi3833 I hope you realize how disgusting and hateful your words are. And I hope you know what that makes you...
@@nturavrgchick6055 disgusting and hateful to who? What could have happened here instead is a line of questioning. You could have said “can you help me understand what you mean”.
TRUE! A MAN of intelligence integrity wisdom and compassion!
@@Goosewitdajuice317 and he's a racist!
Thomas Sowell is my personal hero! His truth is amazing!
I agree with Thomas Sowell. I grew up in a low income neighborhood. I saw people from all backgrounds making something out of themselves. Black friend of mine, from a single mom is now a successful manager at a car dealership. We become what we think. Think poor, stay poor. Think success and you will be. Peace ✌️
Very well said!
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. This is a quote from the Bible. Thomas Sowell is right. If you want to be successful you can be. On the other hand if you want to be a failure and blame others for your misfortune, you will be unfortunate. Let's be positive folks and see the good in life. Take care people. Vaughn
I would agree, but you're overlooking an important fact. You must look at the country of origin that these people come from. Let take colin powell for example. His people are from Jamica. They have terrible crime in Jamaica. They shoot each other too smh. It's basically a failed crime ridden poor nation.
It's also the group or community you lived in affect you. I have a friend who hang around with Chinese student from mainland. Next thing I know, he blames everything in China from "foreign influence" and basically anti-US, anti-Japan as you can get.
Then another friend who hang around with Vietnamese/Chinese gang, everytimes he speaks, you can expect swearing at everything he said.
I am a coloured in New Zealand and I have just discovered Mr Sowell and I see the parallels here, as a Pacific Islander.
I too would love to see Joe Rogan have Thomas Sowell on his show! I think it would be an extremely educational moment for many and a really positive move in the right direction for Americans.
"He researches the hell out of this"
Yes indeed, Thomas Sowell is 92 years old which means when he was researching and writing about this there was no internet. PhD level research.
Yeah the internet is now biased
@@ninawildr4207 there have always been biased sources, long before the internet. The point is research takes a lot more commitment without the internet
Was alot harder and I can't imagine the dedication. But also alot more personal thought went into it as well. With the internet alot of quick info but I think it also interferes with coming up with your own beliefs sometimes
@@RagnarLoudpak and research does not take one source of information exactly for that reason of making sure you did not stuck on biased source.
92!?
He loooks damn great for his age!!! I thought he was 20 years younger than that!!!
Much Respect for honoring yourself enough to Express moving forward vs moving on. Emotional Honesty.
The research that Dr. Thomas Sowell puts into his thoughts and arguments is astounding and worthy of listening to and following. For all! 💯
Thanks for sharing this video. Thomas Sowell is a mind changer. His facts change the narrative for sure. A true American HERO. ❤️ him.
“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.”- Thomas Sowell
Love Mr. Sowell. What a wise man.
What Thomas Sowell preaches seems to be directed at black folks but truly can and does apply to everyone, including "southern rednecks". I've known about Thomas Sowell since the early days of listening to Rush Limbaugh. Rush described Sowell as brilliant and played his takes hundreds of times.
Humbled for running into ya'll and much respect for your channel.
Sowell is the moms and pops we all should've had. Those that demonize him are truly not friends of the black community because Thomas is a treasure from God.
I'm a black man and no disrespect but I love you the way you show your emotions I've been watching your videos for a while and I love to see a Brother show both sides of the equations. You can be hard at times and show that you have compassion Big Ups to my brother.
I had exactly the same reaction when first reading Black Rednecks,...Thomas Sowell is phenomenal. He's also quite good at explaining economics
Sowell is one of the greatest minds of this century imo. I love that I’m seeing people talk more about him lately❤️
I really appreciate how honest and open minded you are bro. You are a leader and a role model for everyone.
Having the presence of mind and humility to admit you’re not sure how to articulate your view without offending someone or being misunderstood is a treasured attribute. One I wish I had sometimes. What you said at the end of the video hit me and I just want to send my appreciation to you for saying it. Wow. Thank you for giving me more hope in our future.
Ditto
Being offended is a choice.
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure!! A true blessing to humainty!
I love that you are finding the vocabulary to describe this new paradigm shift that you are experiencing. I don't have the words right at the tip of my tongue either, but now that we can discuss this together, civilly and with such respect, we can find the words and ideas we need to change the narrative of society. I love this. Thank you.
This is fire. GROW!! 🥳👏
Van, when I first came across your channel a long time ago I had my doubts about you. You came across as a little close minded, but I kept watching and I saw the light start to come on in your eyes and actions about the different music. I am glad to see that that open mindedness is carrying on and you are growing as a human. As you see I am still watching you and enjoying that growth in you. With that there is growth in me. Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Walter E Williams are all mentors to me in my perspectives. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching.
it's nice to watch people wake up from the woke indoctrination!
